That year he was elected as an anti-Jacksonian Member of the U.S. House of Representatives of the Twentieth Congress, which was in session from March 4, 1827, until March 3, 1829. He did not seek re-election as an Adams man in 1828, but he did receive a small number of votes as a Jacksonian candidate, as he had in the 1825 and 1826 gubernatorial elections.[2] Afterwards, he returned to his law practice in Connecticut. David Plant died in Stratford in 1851 and was buried in the Congregational Burying Ground.
